its May 10th not May the 4th
Flawed genius, always had a mischievous twinkle in his eye, another sad ending, saw him at a couple of games in the past, RIP Freddie,funny, funny guy at his peak.
I saw him as the support act to Norman Wisdom in Bournemouth in 1972, when he was just making a name for himself. I was only eleven, but I remember laughing a lot. I don't think you'd get away with mocking Hitler while wearing shorts and boots these days. RIP Freddie.

I recall him conducting the Everton fans at the 1980 semi at Villa Park. Very funny guy.
RIP Fred.

Don't be silly he hasn't heard anything about Hitler, the Nazi's or World War 2. Which is fair enough as it's not like they did many films or TV shows about it. He was just calling out to the waitress and not to the German who happened to be taking the photo at the time. All seems perfectly above board and reasonable.

Precisely. How silly of me.Don't be silly he hasn't heard anything about Hitler, the Nazi's or World War 2. Which is fair enough as it's not like they did many films or TV shows about it.

That was one of the games I saw him at, he was up in the stands conducting the lads in the terracing below absolutely hilarious.

That's the one. We were at the opposite to the Holte End. He was at the front of the stand behind us.

Comics used to get a laugh dressing as a nazi and strutting about - Spike Milligan comes to mind.

Thinking on about that show, Freddie didn't get off to the best of starts with Ali.
Shortly after being introduced to Ali, Freddie stated that his father was a boxer.
Ali said is that right?
Freddie replied and my mum was a spaniel.
Audience erupted but Ali didn't seem amused.
I lived near to Freddie when he lived at Littlewick Green Maidenhead. A story did the rounds at the time that a guy was driving passed Freddie's house when Freddie raced out and waved him down. He asked the guy would he give him a push. Freddie disappeared back into his garden, the guy got out of the car and followed him. When he got in the garden, Freddie was sat on a swing. RIP.
